The project is a tailor-made initiative of R&amp;D group of the Ministry to foster the growth of the Indian electronic toys industry by developing prototypes and equipping young engineers, including from under-represented\u00a0communities, with the skills needed to design such toys.<\/p>\n<p>Under this MeitY initiative, young engineers were selected from across India from SC\/ST and NER background and engaged in R&amp;D activities for a year, gaining hands-on experience in designing and developing electronic toys for first six months working and learning in the e-toys lab at C-DAC-Noida followed by a six-month training in the industry to create toys prototype based on industry needs. The participants were provided with a monthly stipend of Rs. 25,000 for one year.<\/p>\n<p>During the event, Shri Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Additional Secretary, MeitY inaugurated the Electronic Toys Lab set-up at the C-DAC, Noida. Speaking on the occasion, he said, \u201cIndia is a growing market of electronic toys and to build the Indian toys industry ecosystem Electronics and IT can play a crucial role. I am very happy that the building blocks for it are getting created and the next generation of engineers are working towards it. This program can be formalized in a bigger way to cater more students and more impact in overall promotion of the Toy industries. The CoE setup at CDAC-Noida for e-Toys will onboard NIELIT and MSH and other institutes with electronic Toys in focus. It will help in creating the entrepreneurship\/startup. I wish the graduating students all the very best for their future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This convocation ceremony, held on 29<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0November 2025 at MeitY was attended by Shri Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Addl.
